Usual Setup

It was quite unfortunate that I didn’t have internet at home for a month. I had to rely on office internet to catch up on news and everything, and thanks to my phone I could still be on top of my social networking accounts without having to feel like I fell down a black hole. The bad thing about this internet at home is that the access point signal doesn’t reach my room because it’s at the end of the house, so I do my internet stuff in my sister’s room coz it’s the nearest and she’s got this humongous table and a comfortable chair.. and I don’t worry about having to lose sleep because I can limit myself with internet usage. My setup as of last night. Candies and gum belongs to my sister, tumblr on the screen, iPod plugged and phone on standby. The table is really super big, but I couldn’t capture that.

These past few weeks it’s been irritating the crap out of me but when I’m NOT in the office it works completely fine! (Maybe it’s a sign that I’m not supposed to be a crackberry whore while working ha~!). However this week, it decides to completely eff the heck out. I tried various methods like the minyak kayu putih (Cajuput oil) one where you pour some on cloth and wipe it on your trackball. It would work but the day after it would get stuck again when I’m in the office. So today(!), I found this method after consulting Father Google, which never fails. Although the video shows  that it was done with the Tour, I did …

The New and Old

I was at work today when I suddenly had the urge to buy a domain during my lunch break. I’ve been wanting to get my own domain with my name on it for the longest time, but I’ve always held back with putting my last name out there. My online and offline life has always been completely separate, I have friends in both and mixing them together makes it completely weird. For example, Facebook is for the offline people, whereas Twitter is more for the online ones (with the exception of a few IRL friends of course). This will be sort of a hybrid, a start of me not caring about who will read this blog. I still have no idea what to do with the index page though. I’m not exactly a webdesigner so it’s like a silent mockery if I put a “portfolio” nor I am a photographer so I have to figure out what to do for that page. What I know is that I just love the internet and blogging so …
